The users can use the Razer Kishi V2 Pro with microswitch buttons, analog triggers, programmable macros, and Razer HyperSense haptics for competitive AAA gaming, said the company during its annual RazerCon event.
Like Nintendo’s Switch, the Edge comes in two parts: the main unit with a display and internal hardware, and a set of modular, detachable controls.
The main unit includes a 6.8-inch AMOLED touchscreen display running at a 2,400×1080 resolution, with a refresh rate of 144Hz.
Razer said this results in “87 percent more pixels than competitive offerings.”
It also features a 5,000-mAh battery, which Razer says should keep you gaming for “hours.”
The Razer Edge will be available in the market in January 2023.
Razer has been preparing a dedicated Android gaming device for months, complete with Verizon’s 5G connectivity to enable cloud gaming on the go.
According to the company, the handheld is perfect both for cloud gaming services and for high-end mobile games like Apex Legends.
